Talk about what it means to be a strong presenter.
Extend the learning by finding solutions in your home to be more sustainable.
Literacy
What a night! Last Thursday's poetry night was so fantastic. Thank you for the great turn out and coming to support your kiddo with their poetry. My heart was happy seeing such brave souls. Now we're wrapping up the "year" by finishing up our Council of All Beings writing and our literature circle packets.
Ask what type of writing do you prefer, poetry or your latest assignment? Why?
Talk about the benefits of being able to write in all types of genres.

6th Grade Math
We are working hard on fractions these days! Some of us are adding and subtracting while others are multiplying and dividing. Some tricky concepts in both areas include subtracting fractions when you have to borrow or regroup. Another is making sure one understands why dividing by the reciprocal works.
Ask what is 6 1/8 - 2 9/16 ?
Talk about your child's responsibility when they are in class and each table group is working on different content.
Extend the learning by talking about different strategies when working with fractions.
